Chapter 384: Chicago Location
Okay, let's not talk about that, Sean is destined to be a playboy, and the playboy's record is not worth showing off, although it will still be discussed in front of Galen and Sanders, for men, women are an eternal common topic, but it is not necessary to say it openly in front of many people.
In short, Sean is like this, while paying attention to the development of the company, he is running between the two crews of "Ocean's Twelve" and "Batman Prequel", of course, the most important thing at the moment is "Batman Prequel".
Soon after, the studio scene came to an end, and the crew moved to Chicago for location shooting. Christopher wasn't averse to shooting in front of green and blue screens, but he didn't like making films entirely in front of green screens, and he thought that the way to shoot entirely on a green screen and then add something else in post would affect the realism of the film too much, so for him, location shooting was essential.
For example, in this movie, Chicago is near, England and Iceland are far away, not to mention Chicago, the prototype of Gotham City, in the filming plan, Wayne Building is modified from the Chicago Securities Building. And England and Iceland, that's Wayne Manor, some of Gotham City's streetscapes, and Wayne and Master Ninja's training ground on the ice field. Christopher is British, so naturally he wants to make the film himself, and there is a tax rebate policy, so why not?
This is a good thing, you must know that the location of "Ocean's Twelve" is in France and Italy, and the schedule is slightly adjusted, and it is just convenient to shoot in the UK.
Of course, this is all after, and now the main thing is to shoot in Chicago, and this is Sean's first time in Chicago.
"In post-production, you have to add tracks around the perimeter, right? If you don't have a green screen, how do you add it? In the spare time of shooting, Sean, who was looking up at the tall buildings around him, asked the tall bald man next to him with great interest.
His two arms are tattooed with a lot of character, there is this thing, others may not know it, but insiders know who it is at a glance, the famous screenwriter and producer, David? S. Goyer, the script for this movie was written by him and Christopher.
"How do I know, I'm just a screenwriter, Sean, shouldn't this kind of question be asked to those who are in charge of post-production?" Gao Ye spread his hands and made an inexplicable appearance, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You're also a producer, so you should know something, right?" Sean then asked rhetorically, but he didn't really want to know this, so he immediately changed the subject, "Okay, I want to say that it's a good idea to drive a train and hit Wayne Tower, causing a short circuit in the electricity, and then evaporating the toxic gas, causing a group hallucination and destroying Gotham City." ”
"Thank you, but I'd like to remind you that it's the Wayne Building that emits microwaves, not the train crashes." Gao Ye said correctively.
"Well, microwave," Sean shrugged, his purpose wasn't there, "it's an interesting idea anyway." ”
As a well-known screenwriter, Goyer does have two brushes, and he is very good at communicating, such as Christopher who was not going to give Cillian in the movie before? Murphy's scarecrow is a scarecrow with a mask, because it seems a little too silly, but Goyer convinces him.
"Then you might as well let Batman not wear a mask." That's what he said.
Masks are a must-have for superhero movies, even the amazing Iron Man, who generously admits his identity, has to fly around in full-body armor, and DC here In addition to Batman, The Flash and Green Arrow basically have masks, why can the villain not wear it, but the decent must wear it? So Christopher gave up on that plan.
It's also worth mentioning that before Murphy got the role, Marilyn? Manson, Ivan? McGregor and Jeremy? Davis has been considered for the role of Scarecrow. Shaun can only say, Christopher's vision is so good, Ivan? McGregor and Jeremy? Davis is all right, Marilyn? Manson's inexplicable neuropathy is still not to participate in the movie.
No matter who you are, there will be a few people who don't like the eye, and this kind of unpleasant look is very inexplicable, but it does exist. was influenced by Zoe before, plus he also released a song, and he knew something about this heavy metal band, and then it was very unpleasant, so naturally he definitely didn't want to play against each other in the movie. Luckily, Zoe also had a very average perception of them, otherwise Sean would have had a headache - maybe it would be easy, who knows?
"I ask, David, why did you merge the organization of the Master Ninja with that extreme environmental organization?" Sean finally steered the conversation to his purpose.
That's right, the ninja master's base is actually not in Tibet, according to the manga, Batman studied with the ninja master in Japan, and although the relationship with each other can't be said to be very good, it's not bad, the ninja master's daughter also has a leg with Wayne and gave him a child.
And Tibet is an extreme environmental protection organization, bent on returning the world to nature, and belongs to the villain camp, and in this movie, Gao Ye combines the two.
But Sean doesn't know, he's not a fan of comics, so he doesn't know much about them. In addition, there are too many branches of these comics, and it is impossible for him to read them one by one, so when he prepares, his attention is more on the script.
So he would have wondered why the script had set the ninja master's base in a place like Tibet. Then, when he posed the question to Galen and Sanders, he was mercilessly ridiculed.
"A ninja master is a ninja master, an environmental organization is an environmental organization, and you've read a lot of Batman comics, but you can't even tell the difference?"
"Don't you boast that you'll be well prepared when you get the role? Why didn't you think of this? ”
Both guys know that this kind of opportunity to tease him to their heart's content is very rare, and once they catch it, they naturally have to have a good time.
Although Sean was angry, he didn't say much, after all, it was indeed his mistake, although there were too many side comics. But he was still not reconciled after all, and after thinking about it, he simply asked him tentatively after Gao Ye also came to Chicago, and wanted a ...... Parlance.
"It's very simple, we need a villain, what can attract more attention than our own master is a villain?" Goyer said this, shrugging his shoulders and making a disapproving expression, as if the question was silly.
Of course, it's your own **** and your lover who are the villains. Sean wanted to say this, but he expected the other party to answer immediately: It's okay, the next episode is.
So he just sighed in the end, okay, the plot in the movie doesn't need to be consistent with the plot of the comics, anyway, in DC Comics, each branch comic is a parallel universe, and the movie can be regarded as a parallel universe, so you can play at will. What about a ninja master turning into a villain? Don't have Rachel in the comics yet? Dawes, that is, the character played by Katie.
"Hey, Sean, we can get started." At this time, an assistant came over and said.
Sean immediately said goodbye to Gao Ye and followed his assistant over, this time the break was relatively long, because the crew wanted to seal a section of the road for filming. However, road closures are not casual, after all, Chicago is a big city, and the flow of people is relatively large, and road closures depend on the time period, if the timing is not right, no matter how anxious the crew is about the progress, they can only wait patiently.
"Ha, you're ready." After coming to the set, Sean looked at a strangely shaped car parked there, his eyes lit up, and he immediately wanted to go over and check it out.
But he was immediately stopped by an assistant: "Sorry, Sean, don't embarrass us. ”
"I just want to go and have a look," Sean said helplessly, "When I was in the studio before, I went up to see and touched it, but not here?" ”
"yes, I'm sorry, it's not going to work here," the assistant shrugged, not the slightest hint of getting out of the way, "The producer said you can't approach the Batmobile to prevent you from getting hurt or whatever. ”
"Okay, okay......" Sean wanted to say a few words, but after meeting the other party's insistent gaze, he could only leave the place stupidly.
The strangely shaped car not far away is naturally the Batman in the movie, and the streamlined and fashionable cars of the previous Batman movies, the Batmobile built by Christopher is closer to an armored car, the steel skeleton is directly exposed, it has a sense of power, and it is not lost to the previous Batmobile in terms of coolness.
The car was built by Christopher in the UK from the famous Shepparton Studio, which specialized in providing props for film production, and was based on Lamborghini and Humvee and the P-38 Lightning Jet Fighter. Basically, the finished product retains the cool appearance and the basic functions of the car, but because of this, Sean is not allowed to drive, even if he touches it.
Quite simply, although the studio is very good at making props, it is not a specialized car company after all, and although the Batmobile can be driven, it is difficult to say about its safety performance, and no one knows if the car will stop or hit the wall because of a component failure while driving.
In this case, the Batmobile can only be driven by stuntmen, and Sean, as the leading actor, is related to the filming of the entire movie, so naturally he will not be allowed. For this reason, the insurance company's people, after communicating with Warner's side, simply forbade him to approach the Batmobile, knowing that they had taken over a huge insurance policy for the successful completion of the movie.
"Okay, okay, if you don't touch it, you won't touch it." Sean grunted and walked to the trailer, looking back with some regret at the Batmobile that had started and was ready to test run.
Then, there was a loud bang, and the people present were half dead, and some of the timid ones almost fell to the ground. Then, everyone was shocked to see that just a few dozen feet away from the Batmobile, a car rushed out of the oblique spur and crashed into the side of the Batmobile impartially!
